# herdrdev/herdr

> A terminal runtime for coding agents that keeps sessions running in a background server, so work continues after you close the client or lose SSH. It manages panes, remote machines and agent state in one Rust binary.

## Useful for

- Detach from a running coding agent and reattach later without stopping it
- Run agents on several SSH machines and see their status in one window
- Let one agent spawn panes and wait until another agent is blocked

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-24 (UTC), 11:39–19:23: 45614 → 45663 stars (+49). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +64 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- GitHub Trending Rust today: #8, +147 stars.
- About 19 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
